- Scouting, HQ and reinforcement actions are now automatically removed from the actions panel one turn after being completed
- Shortened the maximum numbers of turns to next riot. Based on difficulty: 20,15 or 8 turns.
Empires in Ruins
0849.01.6 Some balancing and UX
0849.01.5 blocked waves and UX
- Fixed a problem with undying sappers preventing the waves progress
- While in battle you can now use Escape to close all menus
- Fixed the health bar in the tower UI that now updates also with UI open
The first one does address one of the sneakiest and best hidden bugs we ever had in game, hopefully this time we splatted it (in case I added some additional debug info, in the remote option it'd happen again).
Esc to close menu is something that we got tons of request for, and it happened plenty of times to see it happening in a video or stream, that someone ended up opening the menu with Esc while just trying to close a window.
We're about to reach a place where the game is fairly stable, it starts to even show some more balancing, and the work on larger EA stuff can finally begin!
Next week you get something even yummier, stick around!
Early Access Diaries #4 One month!
But we're getting there. We're getting less and less bugs reports, and more and more feedback reports, and that's amazing guys. This time (all the updates are already online as I write), it's not only bug fixes, but we already got started on balancing and improving the UX experience.
Of course, there's still a lot to be done, that's always so, but I am very very happy with what I can present now!

- Realigned the Cost tooltip in battle
- Added Tooltip to Main character battle abilities (also in the main character panel)

- Fixed an issue with Governors building assets past their maximum tier
- Maximum assets level in the building queue now shown according to available Natural resources
Some more stuff goes in. We improved the UX on the building queues, fixed an annoying bug with Governors and building, and added the save files to the Bug reports (so we don't have to bother you with sending them manually anymore!)

Early Access Diaries #3 - Juggernauting around
I've been working on EiR code from a tiny village on the italian Alps, it was very relaxing, and surprisingly the upload speed of my 4G there allowed me to upload the game builds fairly quickly too.
But ok, all that is probably not that interesting for you, let's move to cooler stuff now!
First of all, we're stocked with the quality of our gamers. You guys are awesome. You're being patient, playing incredibly well, and using the feedback tool to report bugs and problems a lot (that and the forum).
And, we're being as fast as possible in fixing things too! Not even one month that the game is out, and already we made 10 updates, fixing endless problems, from major to minor. This is exactly how we expected the first month of Early Access to be. Things are now slowing down luckily, you guys keep on playing, but bugs reports are less and less frequent (hopefully because there's less bugs ?lunar2019grinningpig? )
We had more than 400 hours of pre-release testing, but like it always happens in IT, and specially in a non-linear game, the moment you guys took on the Western Marches, you managed to find the craziest and most hidden bugs ever! And we fixed them!
0849.01.1
- Fixed a bug with Destroyed assets and building queues
- Fixed a bug with missing events on a province panel
- Lowered Chapter 3 and 4 requirements of Authority to 50 (from 60%) and Happiness to 40 (from 50%)
0849.01.0
- Fixed a bug on magical effect on units not getting removed if the unit died
- Fixed a bug on Battle temple abilities lacking tooltip description
- Fixed a bug that sometimes messed with province ownership (not noticeable but progress blocking potentially)
- Slightly modified statistics for Cannon Tower
- Slightly modified statistics for most enemy units
- Fixed an erronous unlock of Battle Temple in chapter 4
- Slightly changed the chances of changes in Rebellion in the provinces
- Increased the effect of bribing and hanging governors
- Increased the effect of hanging governors on other governors loyalty
0849.00.8
- Fixed a major issue related to the last battle decisions (only arose in case of Church-related decisions)
0.0849.00.7
- Fixed a complex bug on unity summary display keys on advanced Chapters
0849.00.6
- Reduced to 50% the requirements for Chapter 4 Happiness
- Reduced the assets destroyed by Downpour (from 3 to 2)
- Double click on Start waves very fast might disrupt the start of the battle
- Reduced occurrence of Rebellious events by 25% but their duration and effect is increased.
- Reduced the assets destroyed by a Riot (caused by a Rebellious event)
- Fixed a bug that showed a snowy fort in riots battle panel
- Fixed multiple sources of exceptions across the game
This week, thanks to the slowing down of bugs reports, we started working on the new stuff as well. We're gonna begin by redesigning the Tutorial, adding a Governor-based tutorial, and, you shall see next week what comes next!
Stick around, we freaking love you guys!
Cheers,
Dr.H, Lead Dev
